So a member on Mazda247 (Canada) decided to part out his engine build after investing big money and time. He never did get it installed. So I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and purchase the parts to complete my Turbo upgrade.





Anyone interested in Turbo charging their Protege?? I'll be looking to sell my existing turbo set-up. Stock Turbo, exhaust mani, DP, upgraded SMIC.

WOW that is a nice setup you got there. Can't wait to see that on your car.

Wow. Very cool! Good luck with the upgrades

That looks to be a wicked nice upgrade. Definitiely will add to your car's appeal.

Looks good! I'm guessing GT3071R?

Can't wait to see it! Do you think you'll ever make it up to westminster for a sonics meet?

Very nice Karl!

Nice man I saw that over there that shits going to be sick! Hey don't you have either the corksport s-pipe, or some other aftermarket s-pipe? If so is that for sale or is it just the stock s-pipe?

:) Parts have finally arrived :




[color=black][font=Verdana]Parts List:

Custom MAM Newest Version SS Sleeper Manifold. This mani has the stock runners from MAM but has had a slightly shortened collector, T3 flange vs a T2, 44mm TiAL EWG V-band flange & pipe added. It was then ceramic coated in Polished (outside) and XMC coating (inside) by Fireball Coatings.

Custom SS 3" Downpipe w/ Flex Section and QTP Electric Cutout - This started as a MAM DP. The 5 bolt T2 Flange was replaced with a 3"ID 4-bolt flange. Custom fabbed a 1.75" dumptube for the wastegate to recirculate back into the exhaust stream to stay emissions friendly. Includes an added flex section for expansion/contraction, an O2 bung, 3" Braided Flex, and QTP Electronic Cutout. This was also coated with the polished ceramic coating outside and XMC inside as the manifold had.

Electronic cutout gate for "Y" pipe in downpipe...

TiAL 44mm External Wastegate - V-band connection, adjustable springs for boost pressure.

TurboLife FMIC Kit – with polished piping, replacement bumper bar, t-bolt clamps and silicone couplers.

All thats left is choosing the Turbo

I'm torn between a GT28rs and a GT3071R.
Third option is to go with a custom built Precision Turbo to compliment my current mods. Need to make-up my mind by Saturday so I can start scheduling my build.

I will be replacing my GHL 3" Downpipe, T304 polished stainless steel.

I would like to try and sell (at a great price) my complete turbo set-up to someone locally/club member to turbo their NA Protege. I'll be listing the complete kit plus extras soon.

If I am not sucessful, I will part-out and you will have dibbs on the downpipe if your still interested.

OMG Karl. Looks good to me.

Holy crap!

Looks good man!

If it was me, I'd go GT3071R in a heartbeat, but I'm all for going big (so I'd actually do a GT35R with a new GTX billet wheel hehe)

The Build starts tomorrow 7/20.
Went with Turbo Option #3.
Hope to have it back on the road by this coming weekend.
More information and pics coming.
